I'm having quite the time with this! I searched all over and nobody else seems to have the same problem, which makes me think I'm doing something wrong. I go to cut, set the settings, and everything seems fine. Then I get the "load the mat" message. The only problem is that my mat is already loaded. I've plugged--unplugged, reset, reloaded, restarted Craftroom,restarted my computer to no avail. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 7, if that matters. And it's a new mat. Also, I made a cut moments before so I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong!

Hello Kkiddle,

We would like to recommend trying to install the driver for your machine. You can do this by following the steps below.

1. First you will want to log into your Craft Room and then open your project.

2. Once your Craft Room is open you are going to go up to the Help option

3. Under the Help option you will find Install Drivers. We would like to recommend selecting the machine that you have.

4. It should then open up a new window that will walk you through the installation process. Please follow those steps.

If after doing the driver install you are still unable to get the Craft Room to read your device we would like to recommend contacting the number below where one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

If anybody is having the same problem, I just got off the phone with support and they helped me fix it. You need to add CCRBridge.exe, Cricut-Craft Room.exe, and DriverUpdater.exe to your anti-virus exceptions. Call support for help.Thanks!

I couldn't load my mat through the Craft Room but loaded it manually - same problem. Turns out I had updated to Windows 8.1 and needed an update. You are on 8.1 if the windows logo got added to the lower LH corner of your desktop. To correct - close the CCR, then open a browser to www.cricut.com. Go to Craft Room - Downloads- Windows 8.1 Update for PC and download/run the update.

I am also having this issue--I tried adding the exceptions, tried searching for the Windows 8.1 update to no avail. This is really disappointing. I spent a lot of money on a machine that does not work.
